  INTRODUCTION New technological advancementshave had a drastic impact on the way individuals communicate. With the different kind of online communication methods and tools that it provides, the social media automatically becomes an integrated mode of human interaction. The usage of powerful social media platforms such as Facebook, Twiter, Instagram, and yu tube unquestionably interaction and creating a new system of messages by which people attempt to understand one another both verbally and nonverbally. The role that social media plays in interpersonal interaction is crucial to understand and without doubt, there is a wide range of diverse interpretations related to this phenomenon. This essay critise the influence of social media on interpersonal communication. EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION. SMS usage and communication influences the type of interaction methods of socialization within a person’s environment. It is now a practice to communicate and resolve conflicts through SMS communication in everyday life. In the past these were responsibilities that were obligated to interpersonal skills conducted through face-to face interaction and communication. Face-to-face interaction relationships are characterized as a verbal social exchange of knowledge or information that occurs between two people (Nugent, 2013). An example of this would-be people talking in a verbal conversation. Without face-to-face interaction there is a possibility of valuable nonverbal communication cues going undetected or simply being disregarded, which may cause a distance or misunderstanding during communication. According to the online version of the Collins English Dictionary (2017), nonverbal communication cues entail things such as the expressions on the face, arm movements, a body’s stance, or the tone of voice being used and these aid in indicating how a person feels about something short of using words. Much of the education on nonverbal communication is learned in home environments by relatives or other parties with significant

  face-to-face interactions whichif effected then impacts the developmental process of the future generations. The home is an important factor in learning social and cultural values for families. The role of the computer and the Internet within the home can have an influence on the intellectual development of children and adolescents. This can also prepare them for a role in life in which technology plays an important contribution. Elisa wrote in an investigation regarding family socialization strategies, that the traditional evenings of sitting around the dinner table as a family and telling stories, that in history traditionally contributed in the aspects of forming a common bond and healthy family relationships, are now gone due to the saturation of media and technology use in the home (2009). Without this example of a face-to-face relationship and interaction there is no place for future generations to learn the social cues needed to be proficient in today’s society. The role of the computer and the Internet within the home can have an influence on the intellectual development of children and adolescents which can also prepare them for a role in life in which technology plays an important contribution of how to communicate, self-express and entertain (Plowman, McPake, & Stephen, 2010). This is argued by Arizona State University professors, Eisenberg and Valiente, who state children will model the behavior that they frequently observe and encounter through adults. Honesty and lying are examples that are commonly influenced by parents, but positively displayed prosocial behaviors of high moral judgement, such as empathy and sharing will also have a great influence on their children (Moore, 2015). Research conducted by Bovill and Livingstone (2001) argues that excessive media usage is leading adolescents and children to spend large portions of their time in the bedrooms instead of family or communal areas of the home. This in turn is causing a more individualized and

  socially excluded generationwho is spending less time with family members within the home and causing a negative impact on communication and social interaction skills (Bovill & Livingstone, 2001). SMS site usage can be an activity that consumes time that could be otherwise spent with family members. Mesch (2006) argued that Internet use at home is positively associated with family conflicts and distances people from communication and social interaction within the family structure. Studies conducted by Mesch (2006) showed that daily frequency of low Internet usage for teens showed a more positively relationship with family members and friends. Adolescents also reported that Internet usage does not improve their relationships with parents and it also consumes time that could be spent with family members (Mesch, 2006). It is also observed by Mesch (2006) that families who devote time together in shared activities enjoy a higher quality of communication within the family. A study conducted by Kraut, Scherlis, Mukhopadhyay, Manning, & Kiesler, measuring the impact of social and psychological involvement regarding Internet usage and well-being, found a relationship between the greater usage of the Internet and the declines in the communication between family members within a home (1996). This study further suggested that Internet usage can result in the reduction of family communication and face-to-face interaction (Kraut et al., 1996). A different study conducted by Kraut, Kielser, Boneva, Cummings, Helgeson, & Crawford, found that high Internet usage, for communication purposes, was connected to low levels of communication in the home and also increased the feelings of loneliness and depression (2002). Plowman et al., (2010) suggests that technology can have a negative impact on the social interactions within the home, and references (Palmer, 2007) regarding modern culture creating a toxic technology driven atmosphere which can increase the risk of social isolation, limit linguistics, and increase obesity. In some cases, social media enhances interpersonal relationships. Communicating with people through the social media platforms allows us to create relationships with anyone, anywhere in the world no matter how far they are from us and regardless of the time zone. It is also getting people from online virtual relationships to offline into real world relationships. For instance, somebody may be interacting with someone on Facebook (online) and it reaches a time where they plan and meet, hence, creating face-face communication. On the other hand, people

  who can’t communicatewith others in real life situations can use the social media as temporary bridge that enable them to converse with other people at their comfort hence, creating good relationships between them. Research conducted by Milissa, (2016) argues that social media has caused many people to die. The people who die are mostly youths, this is due to the cyberbullying. This is the use of social media i.e. digital communication tools to make other people feel angered, sad or scared. Social media bullying is subtler than physical bullying. Youths are dying of this because they do not have enough capacity of skills to deal with severe bullying. She argued that, youths lack skills do handle severe bullying and stress due the fact that they spent most of their time on phones and computers rather than talking to their parents, church leaders and guardians so as they can consult or they can be taught on how to handle such situations or in case of a stress. Due to this, many cases of university student committing suicide has been all along the years. Not only university students but also youths in general. CONCLUSION In conclusion, social media has many negative impacts on interpersonal communication than the positive. According to this work we have done, we found out that social media has greatly derailed interpersonal communication that lead to good relationships among people who live together or who work in the same company or organization i.e. spending less time with family members within the home, toxic technology driven atmosphere which can increase the risk of social isolation, limit linguistics, and increase obesity.
